We're definitely starting to get more settled in now and get used to the flow of things. Everyday it feels a little more like my new home and not just some place I'm visiting. I think it will still take me a little longer to get used to teaching kids...but maybe one day that will be easier.

Anna and I went out a lot this weekend to just explore. We have found some good stuff nearby. I think one of my favorite places is Boramae Park which is about 5 minutes away. It's a pretty big park with lots of stuff. Here's a picture of it:


The buildings you see in the background are about ten minutes from our apartment and has lots of stuff. There's a movie theatre, bookstore, Starbucks, KFC, Dunkin' Doughnuts, loads of Korean restaurants, etc. I'm sure we haven't found everything there yet anyways because a lot of it you have to take the elevators to get to and all of the directories are in Korean.

On my birthday we went over there and ate at a Korean restaurant and then went to a coffee shop. We had lattes and waffles with gelato. It reminds me of the waffle place in Peru a little bit!


Scarlet's birthday was the 6th, so Cinderella took us out for a birthday dinner last night. It was yummy! She keeps taking us to these restaurants that are really hidden. So I know everyday we're passing some amazing places and we have no clue. I guess I better get to work on my Korean! Anyways, here's a picture of that dinner:


Tomorrow we're going to get our own Korean style carnes (or residency cards). Then we have a full day of teaching. We have lots of little side projects this week, including a picnic on Saturday morning! So I guess I need to go and get to work! I miss you guys!

I'm glad everyone is being so nice to you! It seems like it isn't too different from home...except you don't have me.

Wow Heather, that food looks great. I can't really get stuff like that down here near the Equator, unless i am willing to spend a lot of money. I ma glad you are able to enjoy the opportunity to explore while getting your work done as well. That is how I keep myself sane here in Grenada. Speaking of, back to studying physio, I have midterms starting in 3 days! AHHH!
